CMD has traveled from San Diego to Boston, from Orlando to San Jose, with stops in Oklahoma City, Houston, Chicago and other dioceses to share our Connecting Catholic Families with the Bible workshop. Over 1300 people have participated in the series. As of August 1, we have done 33 workshops, and have another 18 scheduled for the fall and winter.
Here are some comments from participants at the workshops:
"You did a wonderful job teaching--the best catechetical session ever"
"Excellent examples of how we can incorporate the Bible into our lives"
"So many ideas on how to engage families with the Bible"
"Great resources and discussion"
"Variety of ways to reach out to multi-generational groups in a simple, non-threatening way"
"Awesome experience of learning and meeting with other parish ministers who are on the same path of plumbing the richness of the Word"
More workshops are available in the fall. Click here for more information.

Read about the good work of Young Neighbors participants from Summer 2010:
Worcester, Massachusetts site -- "Laying a new tile floor in our food pantry, hallway, and restroom was complex and difficult job. The quality of work accomplished by Dennis and the YNIA teams over the course of their three weeks here is amazing. With a new floor, our food pantry meets the health and safety standards required of us AND indicates the level of respect we have for the individuals and families who need our help to meet their basic nutritional needs."
